Mining jobs in NSW are in some awesome regional towns where you can live and work. Like the Hunter Valley, Tamworth, Wollongong, Mudgee, Orange and Parkes, as well as city-based offices in Sydney and Newcastle.

Most people who work in mining in NSW live locally near where they work. FIFO (fly-in fly-out) does exist, but it’s very rare in NSW and something you might see more in other states where the mines are a long way from established communities. Office-based and hybrid roles are also common in NSW.
We mine a whole lot of different things that are needed for every day life. NSW produces resources such as coal, metals and industrial minerals that are used for electricity generation, steelmaking, construction, manufacturing and technology, for things made here at home and overseas.
